Postcards from the Gulf

The other day I was checking out the home pages on FB when I came across ‘The Illustrated Garden Val Webbs art studio’ talking about “Postcard from the Gulf” and I e-mail Val to see if it was to late to join and to my surprise it’s not so I went and found an old watercolor post card from Daniel Smith Co. that I could paint on, but wait! There are so many animals out there which one to paint?

So I went on the net to study the gulf and the animals that was hit the most and I found that the ‘Brown Pelican’ also called ‘American Brown Pelican’was one of three animals that are still on the endanger subspecies list, and hit really hard by the oil spills so I had decided to start painting this beautiful bird...

About Me

Hello everybody, I would like to introduce myself, my name is J.D. Fields a.k.a. Lady Bug I am a So Ca Artist who has a real passion for all things of nature. Plus I am dyslexic too, so you will fine that I do not spell well but that is just who I am & if you can see pass my bad English you will fine that I am a real hoot to be around. As a young child, as far back as I can remember, I wanted to be an artist but because of my dyslexia family & friends believe that I was not going to mound to much so after I graduated from school my father got me my 1st job & from there I became a CNA, Home Heath Aid &Physical Therapist Aid, plus I went to collage in the early 80’s but found that my love for art was to powerful, so I gave up my thought of a nursing career & pursued a career in art but with the demand of raising a family, which prevented me from continuing my schooling, I had to put aside my dreams for a time. But I never gave up on my dream of one day picking up were I left off in art. So in 2009 with most of the children raise I pick up a pencil & began to drawing & now I am seeing my dream become a reality…
